Marcus O’Sullivan, the son of Paudie and Helena O’Sullivan and who hails from Firies, was crowned World Champion in the Boys Under 11 section.

“This was an amazing feat for this hardworking young man who was also crowned All-Ireland Champion in February to add to the many other titles he won over the past year. Marcus is undefeated in all major competitions over the last four years and winning this World Title was the icing on the cake,” said Aine.

Caoimhe O’Halloran from Kilcummin brought back another World medal in a phenomenal Under 17 competition making it her fifth medal in a row at the World Championships.

“Three other dancers, Laura Cronin and Grace O’Sullivan from Shrone in Rathmore and Caoimhe Cawley from Camp in Tralee also made it to the final rounds of their respective competitions making it a clean sweep of medals for the school,” added Aine.

“Over 20 dancers and parents from the school made the long trip to Glasgow to show their support and this support was phenomenal to say the least. We had amazing success.”
